Hybrid cars not consequence free

One consequence of driving fuel efficient cars is the fatalities that are the result of driving what is more properly called a rolling coffin. By the way, if as a society we were interested in cutting down our production of CO2 we would plant a great number of trees and reduce our population rather than decreasing life expectancy via SUV and coffin interaction.
